Abstract
To assess the healing of intraoral surgical wounds using a mucoadhesive dressing material- ResoPac® in oral and maxillofacial trauma.
METHODOLOGY: The study population included 15 patients, who were diagnosed with maxillofacial fractures and required open reduction and internal fixation of fractures through an intraoral approach on two different surgical sites. After the wound closure was achieved using sutures, a layer of ResoPac® was placed immediately on one site and no additional intervention was carried out for the other site. Both the study sites were evaluated for wound healing on the 2nd and 7th postoperative days and pain control on the 1st, 2nd, and 7th postoperative days. All of the measurements were collated and subjected to statistical analysis.
RESULTS: The study revealed that there was a statistically significant difference in results with sites receiving ResoPac® having better wound healing on both postoperative days 2 and 7 (p<0.001) and also there was a statistically significant better pain control on postoperative days 1, 2 and 7 (p<0.001).
CONCLUSION: The study revealed that ResoPac® is an excellent adjuvant wound dressing material that can provide early wound protection as well as accelerate the wound healing process and provide better pain control enhancing patient's comfort than leaving the sutured surgical wound exposed directly to the oral cavity during the early phases of wound healing.
